Also, the routes through the terminal will have to be considered -
while getting on is relatively straight forward assuming they drop the
last-minute-only boarding scheme, getting off currently involves a
considerable walk through the bowels of the building.


Actually, if you work it out that won't be necessary.

Remove the security and C&I mess, and you can send everyone through one
layer and take over the other layer for other purposes.


Even this doesn't seem necessary: just cover over the space between
the current barriers and the Eurostar booking office and remove the
train indicator board.

Since these platforms are at about the same level as the domestic
side, there doesn't seem to be a need to go down below at all.
